Black Dinnerware & Place Settings
Most of us are accustomed to seeing food on white plates. Since most food has some color, it’s easiest to appreciate the overall look of the food against a light or white background. Still, some dishes can look especially dramatic against a black background, and some of us just like black plates.
I’m particularly fond of using black plates for any kind of pasta with a white cream sauce. I make an amazing Bechamel sauce with fettucini noodles and it always looks amazing against my black dinnerware. The dish itself is mostly white, and I often spice it up a bit with a few dashes of cayenne pepper for heat (and color) or a few grilled pepper strips across the top. Either way, it’s both delicious and gorgeous.
Anyway, I won’t sit here talking about black dinnerware and place settings all day. That’s not why you’re here. I’ve gathered some of the best black dinnerware around the web (including the majorly expensive and highly coveted Wedgwood Black Astbury place setting), and I hope you enjoy them.
Not sold on any of these black place settings? That’s okay. Keep looking around the site, as there are a ton of great dishes here. You can also check out any of the great retailers below.
